Performance
group draws
on African
experience
An acclaimed performance
group which draws from the cul-
tures of Africans in the Amer-
icas and combines them with
post-modern dance elements and
their own movement will make
their Portland debut this week.
Portland’s White Bird Uncaged
presents Reggie Wilson and the
Fist and Heel Performance Group,
for a series of 8 p.m. performanc-
es, Thursday through Saturday,
Nov. 17 -19 at Lincoln Hall at
Portland State University. Tickets
start at $25.
The group will perform a new
work “Moses(es)” that celebrates
through dance, music and song
the migration of African people
and culture out into the world.
Moses(es) is a 70-minute work
performed by nine gifted per-
formers, including Wilson, an
award-winning
choreographer
and performer based in Brooklyn,
N.Y. The term fist and heel is de-
rived from enslaved Africans in
the Americas who reinvented their
spiritual traditions as a soulful art
form that white and black author-
ities dismissed as merely “fist and
heel worshipping.”
